Riot - open team collaboration

Okay laundry list here.. End to End encryption, bridge to IRC, bridge to Slack, bridge to Gitter, run your own Matrix "Homeserver" (Synapse and several others, with "Dendrite" coming soon). i.e., Someone enters your IRC channel and posts a message. It immediately appears in your Matrix room and by virtue of that, in your Gitter and Slack channels as well, and vice versa. Manage it all with your Riot Client! The next evolution in secure communications - Android/Linux/Windows/OSX/iOS/Voice/Video with file sharing across all the bridges and very soon, screen sharing too - replaces Signal, Whatsapp, Skype, and other centralized encrypted systems and integrates with almost all of the major communication systems. *And... It's 100% FOSS.* Take it from #tallship: I highly recommend with five

It works. Needs a dark theme. Biggest problem is: it's design. Sadly the app interior looks utterly disgusting. It needs a COMPLETE overhaul in design. Also the design's style is like from 2010. The design is so bad that its valuable functions get buried partially under this ugly look. I'd use the app much more happily and more often if it wouldn't attack my eyes so much.

If you have problems with this app, try its develop build from its GitHub. git checkout develop then build the debug apk. Install that on your device and see if the problems go away.

Notifications for this app don't vibrate on my old device (Galaxy S4, android 5.0.1), even though our apps' do. They do vibrate on my newer device, though.

The best Cool thing is I can see IRC logs. Name 'Riot' is a little bad as it seems like related to LoL. Anyway, I like this.

Love the app and it's incredibly easy to use. Would love to have a way to change the text font size in an update though.

it's great app, but still I've got some problems like it cannot refresh or there's no notification sound when message comes, or doesn't work in background so when someone message me then up to the moment I'll open an app I don't get message

I like the app but it constantly crashes. Mostly crashes when people send an image or video. Other than that sometimes I'll get a message and it'll crash too. Please fix this.

Works well. But does need a night theme, and option to hide user join/part messages.

Good Job dev.Open encryption and cross-platform syncing is truly awesome. Hope to get 2 step authentication and improved verification in encrypted chat room.

Y U NO add dark theme

I can't even add friends to a group chat

Needs a dark theme option

It WORKS!

Back on IRC because of this, kick ass app!

I love Riot

Quite impressive and functional for a Peer to peer based design.

Perfect, secure and feature rich

Great app

This is a very nice messenger which can replace messengers like Telegram/WhatsApp without any problem! It's very easy to setup and use. I especially enjoy the ability to choose any server I like and the client (e. g. Riot) I prefer. It's a bit like email just with end-to-end encryption and voice/video calls: You choose your provider and you can text with anyone, even if he/she is using a Matrix server from another company. You are no longer forced into a central ecosystem, instead you use an open standard

It's awesome!!! This is like slack and signal but you can host it yourself. Federation works well. Documentation is really good for being in such early stages. This is the future. Make it happen! Download and run with it ;) But remember it's an early adopter thing. Check out the fosdem 2017 talks about it and read the medium posts

After a quick test I'm pretty sure this will be my main messenger some day. It has all the features to compete with the big names. Most importantly, it's federated through Matrix. Many of the features are non existent or poorly supported in xmpp clients. When end to end encryption is enabled by default it'll get my 5th star.

pretty comfortable messenger, which could replace whatsapp and maybe telegramm (some will miss stickers). The audio/video calls work very nice and smooth.

+ nice interface + matrix protocol + bridge with IRC Room for improvement main points: - missing setting to disable {user} join/leave room message (or rendering of such) - (directory) indexing is very slow - some IRC rooms are missing although existing (e.g. #rust-gamedev on the Mozilla IRC)

I love it. Really nice and open platform. Running my own sever just because I can

Supports all the features other messengers offer. Runs smooth and stable. Available for iOS and web-based as well.

Best messaging app so far. No phone number needed.

The future of messaging and more. Yours and open.

Would like to see a dark theme.

Still in alpha stage. Hard to configure

It is fantastic application for decentralized messaging

Matrix is a great challenger to IRC and XMPP. I'm enjoying it immensely.

Finally!!

Finally an open source app that relies on an awesome open source and decentraliaed network! The app works flawlessly and is already very mature and polished. Can't wait to see the new features being added! Great work, keep it coming!

Love riot. It's not perfect, but has a lot of potential for secure private communication.

Nice but the encryption is very buggy.

Love it.

with freenode integration this app is already very usable, but the real deal will be when the matrix chat and audio/video thing gets good enough penetration. I am very hopeful!

Hell no. I went here coz some reviews suggested its better than signal. First thing riot asks is to create a login?? WTF. Use signal peeps.
